Christmasy Post

I'm known around the office as the gift wrapper. Don't get me wrong, that's not my nickname. People just know I wrap presents at Christmastime in my office. Two people, right after each other as I was walking around with folders, asked me if I was wrapping presents this year.

I have a round table in my office with an extra chair and as work inevitably slows down in December, I wrap presents. I bring in all the Christmas gifts that I give to anyone and I wrap them here. I also wrap presents for others. I LOVE wrapping presents. This year I am also sending Christmas cards. Tomorrow I'm bringing in my large supply of wrapping paper and boxes and boxes of Christmas cards and I'm getting my Christmas on.

[Auck, I'm such an awkward writer these days. I'm spitting out cliches like they're going out of sty.... you get the point.]

But hooray for Christmas! I've got almost all my shopping done already. I know, I'm one of those people everyone else hates. Don't worry, it's not a virtue in me. I loathe shopping around Christmas time in stores. I will do anything to avoid it, including starting my shopping in July. Plus, now I won't double over in pain at my credit card bill in January....

This is Alison, your resident gift wrapper, signing off for now. Merry Christmas!
